Phoenix23

Danwu is independent and she has to run her business herself ..he does his work of stragesing, planning and his business through his network..
You are expecting him to jump in and take over her business from her?

My interpretation of this is that the villians team is at their wits end as YZJ has acted in the dark and smoothly without leaving them evidence to pin anything on him yet and he has crippled their funds and has won everytime...it seems to be their weak efforts to involve mob mentality

I dont think it is on hold..YZJ has seriouslly crippled the funds of the villian team by burning the Pearl farm, the Zheng family's eldest son also got convicted plus they now owe YZJ money for the rubies, the black bandits seem to have lost their members in the attacks in desert and in Yangzhou, their plan of killing YZJ also didnt work...they may be gathering back their strenghth and also need funds and a proper plan as YZJ did everything suddenly and smoothly and won everytime.. seems like calm before the storm

I feel this is their show of helplessness by exploiting the weak...SMZ has no relation to YZJ currently in Yangzhou (in eyes of the people) , YZJ has destroyed the Cui family and also hurt the Zhang family by destroying the tribute and also getting their eldest son convicted as a criminal...at this point they are just ysing underhanded techniques targetting SMZ who is a mere pearl diver in their eyes...
My interpretation of this repetitive mob attacks is tht the villians are at their wits end and will probably lose soon

he wants the Cui family destroyed to avange his mother i guess

i guess Duanwu kinda knows he is not responsible for the trading convoy's death..but considering her traumatic past she would be fearful if the answer is "yes, it was him", she wouldn't be strong enough to handle that..knowing her stubborn nature I guess she is not pursuing it because of both Faith and Fear..something common with people undergone massive repeated trauma and coping by focusing on work or other aspects of life which can be controlled
and YZJ thinks he is dying from the poison and he has the mission to avenge his family..
so I feel they have just swept the issue under the rug for the moment and focussing on their personal missions till they are strong to handle their relationships

though I want YZJ to live and reconcile with DuanWu..I don't have a problem with her choosing 2ML either, he is grounded, stable and favours her and is willing to change for her.. that pairing would be interesting too..I don't want the 2ML to go crazy/turn villian like they do in other cdramas..i hope he finds his OTP too and stays the good person he is

good stories don't need extensive promotions.. what they did is good enough for me

Liu Yuning was on Hello Saturday for two consecutive week..though the following week he was mainly as he is OST singer of other drama, they mentioned TSOPG

waiting for "The Immortal Ascension"

very true.. i also feel the story has done justice to the characters
YZJ being businessman has to do things in secret and cannot show his cards too soon or he'll lose to powerful people, the idealistic ZJR though he empathises with the FL cannot really understand her but is making efforts in his way.. and of course SMZ she is humble and focused on her business and is not too cocky/arrogant in her behaviour..
very realistic depictions..nothing over the top
I am enjoying their journey and growth so far

same here..i loved the drama till then and was very happy that i finally got something good..
but the sudden end to the bracelet episode and the negative spiral since then is very disappointing

i've started to think she's paid to praise some and trash some dramas..(just my opinion after watching and compaing her reviews and dramas)

true..i almost didn't want to watch "Hidden Love" as she accused it of pedophilia..But I'm glad i watched it as other reviews were good about it and many defended it and found her reviews totally false..she should be banned for accusing of pedophilia which is a serious accusation..
she is biased and doesnt speak the truth

i think the blood letter is forged as Lady Huan was murdered..it wasn't suicide

saw the title and didn't agree with it..so didn't watch it

to each their own..
for me He is the best part so far..playing all the scenes given to him to the point..he is the only one holding up the drama so far..

really?
last few episodes was CuiCui meeting his grandfather, the backstory, and the whole point of meeting Mr.Wexin was to clear name of Mu Yao's father send them separately to Qinlin and Cancain..all couldve been done in 1 episode or max 1and half and not 2-3 and used the other episode to show Mu Sheng Journey and growth not half episode (or less than that) which they did
i want our lead characters to have more screen time and better use of their talents..this is not doing justice to what they can act

yes..episode from the Marquis proposal has been all over the place..I don't mind them being secretive about the ending, but it could've been done in better ways by giving more screen time for the leads...showing Ding Yuxi practicing and learning the cresent while travelling with Miaomiao..than having these old characters theorize..feeling like they are wasting my time..i am currently watching it at 1.5x and caan even speed it further..
they didnt use the lead actors talents well

very disappointed with last few episodes..if all they wanted was to send them separately to Qinlin mountain and Cancain..they couldve done it in shorter ways than spend 2-3 episodes on it..they could've used the screen time to show more of the Lead characters developing their relationship on their journey..very disappointed with the pacing and plot development..
